Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) and the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) have usedquantum mechanical ...

Through a novel combination of machine learning and atomic force microscopy, researchers in China have unveiled the molecular surface structure of "premelted" ice, resolving a long-standing mystery ...

Superionic water—the hot, black and strangely conductive form of ice that exists in the center of distant planets—was ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. New simulations show ice stays slippery in deep cold because its crystal structure breaks down under motion, not because it melts.

Researchers at KRISS observed water’s rapid freeze–melt cycles under ultrahigh pressure and discovered Ice XXI, the first new ice phase found in decades. Using advanced high-pressure tech and ...

Water may appear simple but behaves in ways that surprise even the world’s greatest scientists. A new international study has discovered that if it is put under extreme pressure—even at room ...

“Ice XXI” is an entirely new phase of ice with a crystal structure that’s more complex than the ice found on Titan or Ganymede. Reading time 2 minutes For something so common to our daily lives, there ...
